Editor's note: The following are comments from Las Cruces Sun-News Facebook readers:

On if people in Las Cruces still feel safe after Boston Marathon bombing: Yes. The odds are still overwhelmingly in our favor. I won't live in fear but I'll certainly take note of suspicious activity. - Aaron Rogers

I try to avoid big crowds these days, so much going on here that never use to be, it is kinda scary. - Lisa Valdes-Tauscheck

Yes. Have faith & live life everyday! It just brings more awareness around the community. Pray for those affected on this horrible tragedy in Boston. We are "One Nation, Under God" Give thanks to the first responders, law enforcement, emergency personnel, & good samaritans who step up helping those in need around us. - Braden Tidwell

People in many other parts of the world experience bombings or threats of them semi-regularly, they have learned how to go out despite the looming threat of terrorism - our turn now I guess. - Amanda Boyd

Hell yes! NO ONE intimidates me! And we Americans shouldn't act like cowards. We have each other's backs. - Mary Kaschak

On editorial regarding parking in Mesilla: That huge dirt lot near St. Clair should be perfect and adequate for even a parking garage. Have the guys on the bike carriages offer rides. A $2 tip isnt going to hurt anyone that doesn't want to walk and see the beautiful scenery. - Niq Howie

We usually park at the town hall and walk over. Not a big deal until we are told we can't park there anymore! - Ed Tsyitee Jr.

A parking structure at least two stories high and a trolly that goes around and back and forth would be super. Parking in Mesilla is a drag. If there is an event it's impossible to find parking close by and we have to park in front of residents homes. - Mariaelena Johnson

Walk a bit; it is healthy and you get to see so much more. - Deb Swansburg

On Joshua Silver of Arrowhead Park Early College High School being named teacher of the year: I teach DACC classes at APECHS and my students are always raving about Mr. Silver. Well deserved! - Cheryl Fallstead

Best teacher to both my boys at Sierra! Soooo much deserved. - Jeanette Stafford Jones

Wow, he was my English teacher in middle school, awesome teacher, great times. I miss his class. - Jessie R. Barraza

On premature reports that a suspect had been arrested in the Boston bombing: CNN.com is reporting suspect in custody, MSNBC saying no suspect. *sigh* C'mon folks - you don't have to "be first" here. Just be right. - Emmy Basch Simpson

All the news channels, including the AP, say there is no suspect in custody & no arrest has been made. Please check your sources & let us know what is correct! - Amy Floren Garcia

It may not have been an arrest but I'm sure someone is being "questioned." - Armando R. Chavez

On students from Arrowhead Park Early College High School winning a national science, technology, engineering and math award.: Excellent. It is good to know that we are moving to a city with children that excel! - Ann Robson Walk

Billionaires, entertainers and athletes alike announced their intentions to pursue the Los Angeles Clippers with varying degrees of seriousness Wednesday, proving the longtime losers will be quite a prize if the NBA is able to wrest control of the team away from Donald Sterling after his lifetime ban for racist remarks.

Louie, who (like Louis) is a New York comic and a divorced father of two daughters, knows struggle and angst and cloudy wonderment. He views life through eyes with a stricken look, dwelling in a state of comfortable dread. Full Story
